Writing Challenge #19: Tribute to Jay

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."My friend: JayHow we became friends: I could never have thought that I would meet my best friend in some chat room and that he would become an integral part of my life! Yes...we met in one chat room...and the way we met was the most stupid way to start up a friendship : we fought. It was such a passionate fight between two silly people which were arguing for no reasons. Like two kids trying to share a toy....I always smile when these memories flash in my mind. Then followed my "chasing" him... I'm a very inquisitive person indeed so I was curious to find out who was that "arrogant, impudent, self-confident" (as I thought then) man. As a result we became friends. We started sharing everything and spent 24 hours a day together.That's the photo of our first meeting...

Why we stayed friends: It's simple as that...perfect understanding. We are simply alike, with the same views, thoughts, likes and dislikes. I feel comfortable with my friend I can be myself and no need to pretend because he likes me as I am.My friend's best qualities: smart, witty, precise, funny, reliable, generous, prudent, caring.Why my friend is like a family: He is not like my family, he IS my family. He puts a smile on my face when I'm sad, comforts me when I feel uneasy, makes me laugh and enjoy every day of my life. I can't imagine my day without talking to him ( I lied because I can imagine that as I experienced it and it's definitely a dreadful torture) and sharing my thoughts.Friendship Highlight: Sitting on a bridge facing blue silent water currents .. with the whispering wind noises around the ears, sun is neither set nor up there... clouds getting dense and dropping, the legs to and fro ... silence takes over... what could be more naughty than throwing stones on the waters.. getting colder...the eyes invitation only could be pulled closer with the head down the shoulders...unfortunately it's just a dream as the distance separates us.The last time I saw my friend we... If chatting and talking on the phone for hours forgetting about everything else in this world can be called as the last time I saw my friend then that's it.My note:Dear Jay, thank you for being so patient with me when I'm intolerable (and I know how pampered and childish I can be sometimes) and for your great efforts to try somehow to bear that terrible headache my accent gives you ( I promise to improve). Thank you for being born to this world.That's our picture now...

  • I met my alter ego and lost it...It was so beautiful, no words can describe that friendship.

  • Thank you for reading :)
  • You're able to be a true friend, aren't you? Actually, many people want to have a real friend, but not everyone could become a good one. Thanks for your story!
  • No man is useless while he has a friend, and it's true ...
    You can't be alone all the time and hold everything inside : your troubles, joys, griefs and fears. You always want to share it with somebody you trust and it's great when you have such a person to teach you and show you the right way and who will be always there for you when you need it badly :)
